The plots
Two positions, sixty plots.
Water frontage or sand. Both carry the same build envelope, so the choice is about the view and the size of the plot rather than what you are allowed to put on it.
46 plotsReference designWaterfront Plot
Direct water frontage on the inner waterway, with expansive views and the largest plots in the release. The bigger envelopes here allow the most generous bespoke villas at Bay Estate.

Prices shown are the developer’s published AVERAGE plot prices, not starting prices, and are indicative rather than quotations. Plot sizes, positions, build parameters and availability are confirmed on the plot list and the developer’s design guidelines. Areas and build parameters are from Nakheel’s Villa Plots brochure, September 2026. GFA is gross floor area. The villas shown are the developer’s reference designs, illustrating what may be built — they are not included in the plot price. Construction, consultancy fees and the 4% DLD transfer fee sit outside the figures shown.
What you can build
The envelope is set. The house is yours.
Nakheel fixes the buildable envelope — setbacks, floors, height, parking and where a pool or pergola may sit. Inside it, you appoint your own architect and contractor and build to your own brief and timeline.

Land, on your own terms
You choose the architect, the layout and the finish. Nakheel sets the envelope — setbacks, height and floor area — and the rest is yours.
Paid off before completion
The plot schedule finishes in September 2029, with no handover instalment, because the house is on your contract and your timeline.
Inside the masterplan
Plot owners use the same beach club, lagoons, pool clubhouses, promenade and marina as every other resident.
A short list
Sixty plots exist in total across the whole of Bay Estate: forty-six on the water, fourteen on the beach.
Payment plan
Paid in full by September 2029.
Twenty per cent on booking, fifteen in March 2027, then thirteen per cent every six months. There is no handover instalment — the land is yours outright, and the house is on your own contract.

Questions
Bay Estate plots, answered.
What exactly am I buying?
Freehold land inside Bay Estate on Dubai Islands — a serviced plot with road, utilities and, for the beach plots, the beach infrastructure in front of it delivered by Nakheel. The villa itself is yours to design and build.
How big are the plots, and how much can I build?
Waterfront plots run 7,802–11,059 sqft with a buildable area of 7,567–10,721 sqft. Beach plots run 7,647–9,568 sqft with 7,416–9,278 sqft buildable. Both carry a floor area ratio of 0.97, ground plus two floors over one basement, a 12.5 metre height limit and three car spaces.
Are these starting prices?
No. Nakheel publishes an average price per plot type — AED 17.5M for waterfront, AED 19M for beach. What a specific plot costs depends on its exact size and position, which is what the plot list gives you.
What is the payment plan?
20% on booking in October 2026, 15% in March 2027, then 13% every six months — September 2027, March 2028, September 2028, March 2029 and September 2029. The land is paid in full by then; there is no handover instalment. The 4% DLD transfer fee is paid at purchase and sits outside the plan.
Who builds the villa?
You do, on your own contract and timeline, following Nakheel’s design guidelines for setbacks, envelope, height and materials. Construction cost, consultancy fees and authority approvals are separate from the land price.
Do plot owners get the community amenities?
Yes. Plot owners have the same access as every other Bay Estate resident to the beach club, the two swimmable lagoons, the pool clubhouses, the promenade, the marina, the parks and the sports facilities.
Can foreign nationals buy?
Yes. Dubai Islands is a designated freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own outright. Purchases of AED 2 million and above meet the threshold for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa, subject to the authorities’ criteria.
